bob kraft. i mean, tom brady just came out and said, i certainly disagree with what he, the president, said. i thought it was divisive. he seems to have no allies even amongst some of those closest to him in the league on this one? >> two dynamics are at place. first of all, i understand why the owners, i guess, would stand behind their team, because in a sense they don't want riots from within their own ranks and were left with no choice on that issue. >> wait. you think, john -- are you saying, my voice is hoarse, excuse me, but are you saying that you think that these coaches and these owners don't actually believe what they're saying but are trying to prevent a quote in your words, riot, within their own ranks? >> yeah. i feel not all owners feel the way bob kraft does -- >> i have a list and none have stood up for the president. >> like i said, because if they did stand up for the president they run the risk of having their employees -- >> how do you know that? >> how do i know that, poppy -- >> -- to say i imagine, i'm asking do you know definitively or just go off the facts each and e

bob kraft. trump was reading letters from tom brady and bill belichick.re so the nba, the nfl is a sport where a lot of players are supportive of president trump and the fact that so many owners are donating to trump, the fact that goodell would feel the ability to release such a comment really does say something about what trump said last night. >> you also said the president disinviting nba star steph curry to the white house after the warriors guard said he'd be voting no for a traditional championship visit by the team. curry says their absence will form a protest against the president along the lines of the ways to express what you were talking about. why pick on the athletes? is there some element of distraction, maybe deflect from all this talk about health care which is not going to well for the republicans? >> i go back and forth on this. is this some genius scheme to distract us from the issues or him lashing out because his ego is bruised? it's probably a little of column and column b. he doesn't want us thinking about his policy failures but h

brady the n.f.l.'s premier player called the president's comments divisive patriots owner bob kraft who supported trump and donated to his campaign said he didn't like the tone the president insists he's calling for the league to fire players who protest and it's not about race it's about respect for the country the president's not talking about race the president is talking about pride in our country. what you saw yesterday were players and fans of all races joining together as americans to honor our service members that's what the president's talking about that's what his focus is on. for more on this let's turn to our panel tonight ted harvey committee to defend the president and rob top aggressive talk show host and huff post contributor gentlemen good to have you with us tonight ted i'll go to you first is there merit in what the president is saying he said this at a rally in alabama. or a candidate that he is supporting in the senate race to replace jeff sessions it was a rather an odd place to bring this up i don't know if it has anything to do with that senate race but is there merit to what th

brady's pretty apolitical and also we know has played golf will trump and they're friendly. do you think, though, that the president is going to take this type of fire from say bob kraft, other owners and all of these players and reflect on it, or do you think he's moving on to the next big fire? >> reflect on it. let me say two things quickly. to the extent you're asking when you see owners coming out and showing solidarity with their players, is that a cynical pr move or is that because they believe in free speech rights of their players. we do have to remember that colin kaepernick who started all this still doesn't have a job. it's clear that he was black balled by the owners including not in the case of the new england team but the patriots, of course have a great quarterback but there are some teams that need quarterback and did not hire him because he was such a controversial player in the eyes of the owners. that seems pretty obvious to everyone. it's a little bit precious now to see we're linking arms and so forth. the other thing that i think is interesting and maybe an emerging takeaway from this, is that it's morphing, the meaning of the taking the k

bob kraft, who contributed to the inaugural committee. you're not going to find many voices of support outside his base, his extreme base, for these remarks. >> tom brady. i mean, tom brady, the quarterback said this morning, just this morning, i certainly disagree with what he said. i thought it was divisive. have we heard from colin kaepernick? >> i don't expect we will. >> why not? >> he's been quiet for a long, long time. sometimes he tweets some things out. i think it's a good thing this that gone beyond colin kaepernick. tell you why. we have to give colin kaepernick credit. first of all, taking a knee. the first game he sat. it occurred to him, maybe sitting seems contemptuous. kneeling is be an act of grace. tim tebow knelt at times. it can be an act of grace and respect. kaepernick, whether people know it or not, has raised and donated millions to worthy causes, he's walking the walk, involved in the community. but kaepernick himself was an imperfect messenger. giving to saying things like i don't vote because the oppressor will never let you vote your way out of oppression. it doesn't matter to him who wound up being president of the united s
